What architectural styles are Timber Frames built in?
Timber Framing is a structural system; therefore Timber Framing can be built in any imaginable style. The craft has a long history in both the east (China, Japan, Korea) and west (Eastern and Western Europe, USA, etc). Many examples abound from colonial farmhouses, cathedrals, tea houses to more recent styles such as Arts & Crafts, and contemporary. Ultimately it is about loving trees and the strength, beauty and healing they impart.
